When 'reserving' blocks for delayed allocation , XFS reserves more blocks (i.e. past file's current EOF) than required. This is done because XFS assumes that userspace might write more data and hence 'reserving' more blocks might lead to the file's new data being stored contiguously on disk. 2. The in-memory 'struct xfs_bmbt_irec' mapping the file's last extent would then cover the prealloc-ed EOF blocks in addition to the regular blocks. 3. When flushing the dirty blocks to disk, we only flush data till the file's EOF. But before writing out the dirty data, we allocate blocks on the disk for holding the file's new data. This allocation includes the blocks that are part of the 'prealloc EOF blocks'. 4. Later, when the last reference to the inode is being closed, XFS frees the unused 'prealloc EOF blocks' in xfs_inactive(). In step 3 above, When allocating space on disk for the delayed allocation range, the space allocator might sometimes allocate less blocks than required. If such an allocation ends right at the current EOF of the file, We will not be able to clear the "delayed allocation" flag for the 'prealloc EOF blocks', since we won't have dirty buffer heads associated with that range of the file. In such a situation if a Direct I/O read operation is performed on file range [X, Y] (where X < EOF and Y > EOF), we flush dirty data in the range [X, Y] and invalidate page cache for that range (Refer to iomap_dio_rw()). Later for performing the Direct I/O read, XFS obtains the extent items (which are still cached in memory) for the file range. When doing so we are not supposed to get an extent item with IOMAP_DELALLOC flag set, since the previous "flush" operation should have converted any delayed allocation data in the range [X, Y]. Hence we end up hitting a WARN_ON_ONCE(1) statement in iomap_dio_actor(). This commit fixes the bug by preventing the read operation from going beyond iomap_dio->i_size.
